@title[#:tag "servlet-env.ss"
#:style 'toc]{Simple Single Servlet Servers}
@(require (for-label web-server/servlet-env))
@defmodule[web-server/servlet-env]
The @web-server provides a way to quickly configure and start a server instance.
Here's a simple example:
@schememod[
scheme
(require web-server/servlet
web-server/servlet-env)
(define (my-app request)
`(html (head (title "Hello world!"))
(body (p "Hey out there!"))))
(serve/servlet my-app)
]
Suppose you'd like to change the port to something else, change the last line to:
@schemeblock[
(serve/servlet my-app
#:port 8080)
]
By default the URL for your servlet is @filepath{http://localhost:8000/servlets/standalone.ss},
suppose you wanted it to be @filepath{http://localhost:8000/hello.ss}:
@schemeblock[
(serve/servlet my-app
#:servlet-path (build-path "hello.ss"))
]
For the time being, this path must end in @filepath{.ss} or @filepath{.scm}.
Suppose you wanted to use a style-sheet (@filepath{style.css}) found on your Desktop (@filepath{/Users/jay/Desktop/}):
@schemeblock[
(serve/servlet my-app
#:extra-files-paths
(list
(build-path "/Users/jay/Desktop")))
]
These files are served @emph{in addition} to those from the @scheme[#:server-root-path] @filepath{htdocs} directory.
Notice that you may pass any number of extra paths.

This sets up and starts a fairly default server instance.
@scheme[servlet] is installed as a server at @scheme[servlet-path] with @scheme[manager]
as its continuation manager. (The default manager limits the amount of memory to 64 MB and
deals with memory pressure as discussed in the @scheme[make-threshold-LRU-manager] documentation.)
If @scheme[launch-browser?] is true, then a web browser is opened to the servlet's start page.
If @scheme[quit?] is true, then the URL @filepath["/quit"] ends the server.
Advanced users may need the following options:
The server listens on @scheme[listen-ip] and port @scheme[port].
The modules specified by @scheme[servlet-namespace] are shared with other servlets.
The server files are rooted at @scheme[server-root-path] (which is defaultly the distribution root.)
File paths, in addition to the @filepath["htdocs"] directory under @scheme[server-root-path] may be
provided with @scheme[extra-files-paths]. These paths are checked first, in the order they appear in the list.
The @filepath["servlets"] directory is expected at @scheme[servlets-root].
If a file cannot be found, @scheme[file-not-found-path] is used as an error response.
MIME types are looked up at @scheme[mime-types-path].
